Chapter 947: Gaps in Weaponry

The multiple attacks of the Japanese army almost leveled the front of the 52nd Army.

The fortifications built on the position were destroyed in an instant by Japanese bombs and shells.

The defenders on the position were wounded and killed by the bombing, and the forward line of defense was about to collapse.

A regiment that had just been replaced suffered casualties by one-third after a bombardment by the Japanese army.

Even the elite troops in the national army could not withstand the onslaught of the Japanese army's A troops.

Japanese bombers and fighters were constantly circling in the air, and the Nationalist artillery units in the distance were unable to provide artillery support.

The 52nd Army had such a small foundation, and if it was easy to carry out an artillery counterattack, then the artillery position would be destroyed by Japanese fighters.

The enemy's fire was so heavy that the positions of the regimental headquarters of the forward defenders were also bombed.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The position shook incessantly, as if there had been an earthquake.

The forward command post was instantly engulfed in the flames of the explosion, and the entire fortifications collapsed.

The officers of the command in the regiment, the officers and men of the communications department, and several commanders of the national army were all killed under the enemy's artillery fire without exception.

The bodies of the officers and men of the garrison were blown up outside the command post, and others were buried under the fortifications.

The battlefield is undoubtedly cruel, and for junior officers, the battlefield is like a meat grinder, and it is difficult for front-line officers and soldiers to survive intact.

The command post of the national army was destroyed, and the troops at the front immediately lost contact with the superior and subordinate units.

"Not good! Our command post was attacked by imps!! ”

"Medical personnel, stretcher team go to save people, the regiment commander and other commanders are all in the command post!!"

The defenders shouted in shock, and the medics and stretcher teams rushed to save people as quickly as possible.

The medical personnel braved the artillery fire and the rain of bullets to arrive at the command post, which was a scorched earth and littered with bloody corpses of all faces......

Compared with other units, the elite units of the national army not only have more advanced weapons and equipment, but also have a more tenacious will to fight.

Although several commanders in the regiment were killed, the officers and men at the front did not flee the battlefield in a disorderly manner.

The battalion commanders of each battalion took over the command, and the officers and men of each company and platoon, under the leadership of the battalion commander, continued to fight on the battlefield under raging artillery fire.

The Japanese fire assault lasted nearly half an hour, and the forward position became a devastated scorched earth position.

The thick smoke of gunpowder and poisonous smoke were mixed together, and some soldiers would be poisoned and fall on the battlefield if they were not careful.

Soon, the Japanese planes stopped bombing, but the Japanese artillery fire continued.

Nara Yamatomi, the leader of the devil's detachment, looked at the national army position in front of him being bombed into a scorched earth position, and a cold and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, he immediately gave the order to attack the assembled combat troops.

The front commander of the devil raised the command knife in his hand and shouted: "The chariot troops are advancing, the infantry are charging, and the ducks and chickens are !! ”

"The Imperial warriors rushed to the front and killed all the soldiers of China!!"

The devil soldiers who received the order to attack were like a group of beasts released from a cage, and the enemy launched a fierce charge.

The Japanese attacking force numbered more than 1,000 people, with infantry attacking from the left and right flanks, and chariot units attacking from the open center.

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Da Da Da, Tu Tu !!"

The Japanese tanks advanced forward, and the tank guns continued to fire and suppress the fire.

The devil's grenadiers and mortars were also quickly set up, aiming at the forward positions a few hundred meters away.

The Japanese tank units attacked at a very fast pace, and in less than ten minutes, the tank group was less than 300 meters away from the forward position.

Half of the defenders' casualties were already over, most of the soldiers were no longer able to fight, and many were unconscious.

The defenders on the position saw that the little devils rushed to the front, and all the officers and soldiers ran out of their bunkers and threw themselves into the battle.

"Brothers, hold your ground!!"

"The position is there, the position is lost, and we live and die with the position!!"

The soldiers on the position shouted unyieldingly, and they grabbed their weapons and fired at the attacking Japanese troops.

"Tutu Tu Tu !! Tu

"Bang bang. Bang Bang Bang !! ”

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The sound of gunfire and explosions rang out around the position, and bullets and shells flew back and forth. 、

The individual firepower of the Japanese army is superior to that of the national army, and the Japanese army has artillery and chariot support, so the national army will have a very large casualty to compete with the Japanese army.

Under the cover of firepower, the Japanese infantry units quickly outflanked and flanked them.

The devil's grenadiers, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns constantly attacked the defenders' firing points.

The devil chariot troops in the middle of the road were rampage all the way, and at the same time, the on-board machine guns on the devil chariot were also roaring non-stop.

All kinds of gunfire are intertwined.

Dense on-board machine-gun bullets flew in, and one by one, the defenders on the position were shot and fell under the trenches.

As soon as the defenders' machine-gun crews counterattacked, they would soon be attacked by Japanese grenades.

"Ahh......h

The wounded defenders lay on their ground in pain, and the number of wounded was growing so much that the medical staff could no longer save them.

The Japanese troops, with their absolute superiority in firepower, suppressed the defenders on the position.

There is still a big difference between the light and heavy weapons and equipment of the two sides, and the Japanese soldiers have high accuracy and long range, which is much better than the Zhongzheng infantry in the hands of the national army.

The little devil soldiers could shoot the defenders on the position from a distance of 400 meters, but it was difficult for the defenders' rifles to hit the Japanese troops.

The defenders have already lost in light weapons, not to mention heavy weapons, which are a lot weaker than the little devils.

"Fuck, dog-day little devil, kill the little devil's chariot troops!!"

"The left flank transferred a few machine guns over !!"

Mortars and grenadiers of the defenders, continuous bombardment of Japanese tank units.

The threat of Japanese tanks was the greatest, because the Japanese tanker guns could fire directly at various angles, and the firepower of the heavy machine guns on the vehicles was fierce, and the suppressed defenders were simply unable to carry out an effective counterattack.

Rows of grenades flew out of the position and smashed towards the group of devils' chariots.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The grenade exploded around the Devil Chariot, and the first to be killed and wounded were the surrounding Devil infantry.

The devil infantry was killed and wounded by the splash of shrapnel, and the devil soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Encountering the bombardment of grenades, the armor of the devil's chariot was scarred, and there were traces of shrapnel and bullets everywhere.

The devil's chariot is mobile, and it is not so easy for a grenade to hit the chariot, and besides, the destructive power of the grenade is not very strong.
